As for the talk about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's "calendars" they can be found here, as published by the State Department,  for anyone who would like to go through the tedious process of checking out whom she met and when.

Why are the cable news folks not reporting Trump's shenanigans?  What have we got to lose?  Her!
